Colour Sorting with Farm Animals

One of the Little Tots I care for is going through the stage of being able to say different colours but not yet be able to match them up correctly….instead they usually just say everything is “red”.

So, as farm animals are big news here at the moment, I decided to combine the two and come up with this simple colour sorting activity.

I tested this activity with my own 4 year old who already knows her colours but still loved doing this and decided she needed to be dressed as Elsa to carry out this farm related task (this post contains affiliate links).

Even though she already knows her colours the tweezers still helped to make this a challenging activity. And not content with just placing each animal on the correct colour she also insisted they had to be stood up on the card.

As well as sorting by colours this activity is also a fun way to practice:

This activity was a great extension to this weeks Kids Virtual Book Club featured book Little Blue Truck which features lots of farm animals and is currently Jacks favourite book. So much so its already broken and it’s only a few weeks old.
